Upper Devonian to Mississippian global environmental change and impact on conodonts
Sven Hartenfels
Abstract:The Upper Devonian to Mississippian was a very dynamic time in Earth’s history and encompassed substantial changes in widely separated palaeoenvironments. Major evolutionary trends did not occur through a long-lasting interval of ecological stability, instead they took place as recurring global events and/or crises of different magnitude, duration, and intensity. Framed by two of the most devastating time intervals – the Kellwasser and the Hangenberg crises – the Famennian has yielded other 2nd to 5th order ev… Show more
